these subs can not work in two ohm load, they only support a four ohm load

The speaker IS the ohm load. When determining what a system can handle as far as ohms, it is the amp that is needed to manage the load, not the speakers.

All the speakers have to handle is the power.

To wire two SVC four ohm speakers for two ohm total blockage i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL.jpgi81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL.jpg">i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/s.

not sure if you want to push the full rms or close to it. the kenwood here could give you 850 at the 2ohm load you could have. 50 watts over rms but 25 extra watts wont hurt. and kenwood/kenwood could be a good match up.

heres one that is 800rms @2ohm from mtx

exactly like the other person said. two 4ohm subs will wire @2 or eight ohm depending how you wire it you want 2ohm because you could need a big amp to get 800rms @8ohm . two dvc 4ohm subs could wire @ 1or 4ohm.

Your subwoofers are each four ohms, but when you wire them together the result is a two ohm load. Your best bet is an amplifier that is rated for around twice the subwoofer's RMS power ranking into a two ohm load. That typically means a mono amp.

no a two ohm load won't hurt your speakers it's just making more of your amp. so this is a good thing no have to worry about the two ohm load.
